Cat goes on rampage in Nova Scotia, evicts owners
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, May 13 (Reuters) - A Canadian family had to
flee for safety after their pet Siamese cat went on a rampage,
tearing at clothes and skin and driving them out of the house, police
said on Monday.

The shaken group called police in the eastern port city of Dartmouth
after taking refuge on their lawn on Sunday evening.

"Earlier in the afternoon, the cat had attacked the babysitter,"
police Sgt. Don Spicer told Reuters. "The residents went to check on
the cat and, essentially, the cat went crazy on them as well.

"It attacked the father and ripped his pants as well as the flesh
underneath," Spicer said.

It took police officers, armed with a blanket and a clothes hamper,
20 minutes to corner the cat. Spicer said Cocoa the cat was
eventually secured in a pet carrier and handed over to the family who
took it to the veterinarian.

It was not yet known what caused the cat's frenzy.

"We've been called to deal with a snake or various animals for one
reason for another. But this is the first time that I can recall an
actual cat going berserk," Spicer said.

Another police officer said Cocoa was "a Siamese cat with an attitude
problem."
